You’re having a stunning day out climbing on Gogarth and decide to snatch one more route as the sun goes down. Suddenly on pitch three your second pulls a block off and is left spinning in space unable to get back onto the rock…

What do you do?

From a stuck karabiner to a full on crag rescue this course will give you the tools to solve problems and look after your climbing partner.
